We generally think Ed Tech

refers to these!

Can Ed Tech mean

something else?

“Ed”? “Tech”?

Tech “refers to the making, modification, usage, and knowledge of tools,

machines, techniques, crafts, systems, and methods of organization, in order to solve a problem, improve a preexisting solution to a problem, achieve a goal,

handle an applied input/output relation or perform a specific function”

“a form of learning in which the

knowledge, skills, and habits of a group of people are transferred from one generation to the next

through teaching, training, or research”

Ed

Going by Wiki Definition

of Ed & Tech

Aren’t these Ed Tech

too?

Page 6: Varadarajan Sridharan - Ed Tech Summit 2013

“Ed + Tech” As we see today…

a form of learning in which the

knowledge, skills, and habits of a group of people are

blogged, shared, transferred, viewed, collaborated, experienced, played, liked, tagged, commented, organized,

searched, uploaded, downloaded, automated or blocked

from one generation to the next

through teaching, training, research

or simply through autodidacticism

In The Past Gurukul – Ed Tech Of Our Ancestors?

CHANGED TO

Current School System

Did these cause Gurukul’s decline?

– Victorian Empire and the need for English-speaking clerical workers to manage their assets worldwide

– Industrial Revolution and the need for similar-skilled workers for factories and assembly lines

– World Wars and the need to train soldiers uniformly and quickly, and send them into the war

– Gurukul seen as Selective Education vs. Inclusive Education

– Academic Research on Educational Philosophy & Learner Psychology

The Bleeding Edge

• Computational Thinking – Scratch, Tynker

• Natural Language Processing – Apple’s SIRI

• Apple, Google & Microsoft heavily investing in Education

• Learning Analytics / Big Data in Education

• Internet Of Things

Google made information discovery easier…

Who is going to make decision-making easier?

Missing Pieces?

• What Ed Tech for Education Governance?

• Delivery vehicles like curriculum, syllabus, boards, tests with Ed Tech?

• A piece-meal approach? What governing frameworks needed? – What data MUST be captured and made available by Ed Tech providers?

– How should they share such data (protocols / frameworks / APIs)?

– Which tools address which learning objectives?

– How should content providers tag their content?

– Ed Tech true inter-operability?

• Techies designing Ed Tech – How well do they know Education?

• Ed Tech for Teacher Training on 21st Century skills?

• Can I use Chemistry content from Educomp and Physics from Pearsons?

• Digital Content Repository from Ed Tech vendors?

• Centralized Approval of Ed Tech products / services?

Potential Options

• Achievements Standards Network project @ US uses RDF to put learning objectives in machine-readable format

• Learning Registry @ US

• “The Audrey Test” – What should every Techie Know About Education?

• Google Certified Teachers, Apple Certified Teachers

• Mozilla’s Teach The Web
